Since yesterday was a beautiful sunny day (there's nothing like a blue sky!), I decided to stop by the Norfolk Botanical Gardens to see what interesting life I could spot in the middle of winter. This elm tree caught my attention since I had never seen it before. The bark looks almost like a puzzle - fascinating!! Some daffodils were blooming - too early! The eagles were just beginning to build their nest. I was told that this is the seventh year that they have returned. Check out the webcam on wvec.com to follow their progress. So you see, winter can be a rewarding time to visit the gardens!
